Vance Orchestra “At Random Again”Noctovision, NCVCD 09, CD (CD+CDr version, OOP), 2000年This label not unlike Alchemy Records in Osaka (but much smaller) with connections to the dozen or so exponents of the original Japanese Noise music scene.During the last two decades, Noctovision (born out of Les Disques du Soleil, Osaka) have released a dozen recordings on odd years with odd catalogue numbers. Their concern pertains very much to the ambient elements of Current 93 / Coil / Nurse With Wound in that these recordings are for the most part from European artists.It was proposed that the even numbers would provide for sound art of another aesthetic …In 2007, artists of The Loop Orchestra presented a broadcast about this label.

V.A.“Buy or Die” Oz Disc, OZD-012, CD?, 1995年, 0分 (sic)Lastly, the bizarre (“idiot label” qv. Stofer: ‘Japanese Independent Music’) Oz Disc!I think “Buy or Die” was originally a series, superseded by this condensed ‘version’. To obtain, firstly, you had to go to visit the outlet, select your cover (eg. the zapping robot is only one) and then you state your price and pay!Release info: http://www005.upp.so-net.ne.jp/ozdisc/catalog/data/ozd_011_020.html

For other ‘hand-made’ Japanese CDs one might consider some works of:M.S.B.R. / 田野幸治 and AUBE / 中嶋昭文.

In America though, a ltd. ed. 4-volume series of field recordings, son verite, found sound with collage design not unlike the Noctovision item: http://www.soundsfromthepocket.com/found.htm
